After a two-year break owing to the Covid 19 Pandemic, the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) is gearing up to host the 19th edition of its esteemed Ghana Club 100 awards in October at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra.
The Ghana Club 100 is an annual compilation of 100 outstanding companies in Ghana’s business landscape, with the goal of honoring and rewarding businesses that are making remarkable accomplishments in their respective business fields.
Launching the event at the GIPC office in Accra, the theme for this year’s event was unveiled as “Ghana’s Private Sector, a Catalyst for Post-Pandemic Economic Transformation”.Speaking at the launch, the Chief Executive Officer of the GIPC Yofi Grant pointed that the theme was relevant in more ways than one, as most firms utilized the crisis as a stimulus to accelerate change in almost every element of their work.“As such, these businesses sought out new partnerships and alliances to boost their technology investment and implementation.
Others also pursued new opportunities to strengthen their supply networks and grow markets and it’s only fair that we acknowledge their perseverance.”

PRESS RELEASE – GIPC’S GHANA CLUB 100 AWARDS RETURNS
In July 2019, Ghana was selected ahead of six other countries, to host the Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The decision, according to regional leaders, was ‘fitting’, considering Ghana’s significance to commerce in Africa.
With this move, Ghana becomes the headquarters of the game-changing project which will boost intra-African trade by establishing a mutually beneficial trade agreement among member states.
The AfCFTA is projected to eliminate tariffs on 90% percent of goods produced on the continent, as well as other non-tariff constraints, with the ultimate aim of aggregating African countries, to create a single market.
It will connect 1.3 billion people across the 55 African countries with market size of $3 trillion, to create the largest trade bloc in the world. The AfCFTA will increase intra-Africa trade by 52%, boost Africa’s exports by $560 billion, and lift an estimated 30 million people out of extreme poverty.
Therefore, being the headquarters of such a trade treaty is not merely symbolic; it benefits the country’s economy and its businesspeople in several ways.
